I could buy a large milkshake for a quarter. I just bought one today and the sales tax was .27. WTF??

When Skip was in HS, shop class involved mastering firestarting with Flint or 2 sticks, so they could prepare the burt stick for art class, which was basically stick animals on cave walls.

Skip was lucky though, they were able to dissect a mastedon and a paleostinkus in Biology.

Skippy, now what did you expect? I can't even imagine a milkshake costing .25. But I wouldn't put too much thought into it. The average person was making a fraction of what people make now. It's all relative, my friend.

Wait, what do you mean High School? I thought all the kids went to the same school with the same teacher in those days.
